Karma

If you do a good deed, you get some reward in the form of another person doing good for you, OK you might not recognize it at the time it’s being done, but at a later date when you reflect back on a moment you thought was nice or a little bit out of the ordinary, you might see your good Karma being repaid.

What about Bad karma, when people start doing bad things to you, without provocation of any kind, you are trying to live a good and peaceful life, then someone comes along and messes it up with bad vibes, annoys you to the extent you want to punch the person and say go away – but you don’t do anything. So what happens next, you do nothing and try an deal with this person on a kind basis, but they still come up with bad things that are upsetting in your life, no matter how much you try and get rid of this person. So what happens to this Karma in your life? I am not sure, I have an idea that the person who does it to you will get this back in their life from another person who also had bad Karma, in the balance of things e.g. They gave bad karma, so it will return to them via another source, hopefully the same amount of hassle that they gave you. Does the universe give you some good karma to compensate, as I believe that there is an equal and opposite reaction to all things for all bad things there needs to be a good thing done.

Am I true or what, I do not know, all I know I have had some bad karma given to me in the past few days from two obnoxious people, who basically could not care less about what they do to upset others, they are now out of my life, so what will happen to their bad karma they gave me, will some one else give them the bad Karma back and thwart what ever plans they have for their next part of their trip. Unfortunately I will never know, as I did not take any of their contact details (nor did I want to have them in my life again) so if something bad in Karma way happens I will never know. Now will the universe give me some good Karma to compensate for their actions? I hope so, but will not know until it actually happens. The universe knows what it needs to do in my life, I am awaiting for a few things to be answered, so in the mean time I will carry on with my usual life of what ever that is at present.

Below is a bit of text about Karma if you want to know a little more and Wikipedia explanation link below this.

Karma is the great law of “cause and effect”, of “action and reaction”, which controls the destiny of all living entities.

This great law functions on the principle, that any action performed produces an equal and opposite reaction, which directly influences our very existence.

Karma, like time and gravity, is a universal principle and every one is effected by its influence. While the law of physics applies to the interaction of material objects only, the law of karma however, applies to any action performed by living entities and governs the interrelations of all living beings. The state laws for example, are grossly observed; but the law of material nature [karma] being subtle to our gross understanding, cannot be experienced grossly or understood by mental speculation.

The law of karma states, that every action performed in life creates another reaction which in turn produces a new counter action. Thus an endless chain of actions and reactions is produced which binds the living entity to his good and bad deeds. This is the way how karma works. It creates an action and another reaction simultaneously and this increases the chain of material activities, keeping the performer in material bondage.

Action has three components: the senses, the work and the doer and three motivating factors: knowledge, the object of knowledge, and the knower.

The soul within the body is acting to bring about the results of activity and is therefore known as the doer. Its instruments of action are the senses, and for each and every action there is a different endeavour.

From one life to the next, and from one cosmic creation to the next, the living entity makes a determination to act in a certain way, and then he is entangled in the reactions to his work. After giving up one body, he enters another, and usually he forgets everything about his previous life [see: re-incarnation]. The Supersoul in everyone’s heart witnesses one’s past desires and gives one facilities and directions how to fulfill them. In this way, the soul reaps the results of his actions.
